- Ampio delle Mortelle is dark ruby red. The nose expresses its captivating character with spicy notes of black pepper and liquorice accompanied by pleasant aromas of small dark mixed berries, especially currants and blueberries. Delicate hints of aromatic herbs, violet blossoms, and subtle sensations of cloves, tobacco, and chocolate complete its bouquet. Its enticing palate is elegant with mouth-filling tannins. A lengthy finish has depth with light sensations of bitter chocolate and sour black cherries.
Ampio delle Mortelle is crafted from the best vineyards on the Le Mortelle estate. Grapes are harvested into small crates and brought to the cellar, where they are carefully selected by hand. Using the technique of gravity flow, only the finest berries reach special truncated-cone tanks, a winemaking process that preserves the purity and freshness of the grapes. The tanks’ particular shape and our unique punching-down method guarantee a winemaking process that is delicate yet decisive, enhancing the aromas, tannin balance and individual characteristics of each grape variety. The different lots, separated by grape variety, were transferred to new French oak barriques where malolactic fermentation occurred and were then aged for approximately 18 months. Ampio delle Mortelle was blended and aged for an additional 12 months in the bottle before being released for sale.

| Winery | Located in the Maremma, Tuscany’s rising star of a region, the eye-wateringly beautiful Le Mortelle estate has belonged to the Antinori family since 1999. It is named after the wild myrrh – mortella – found in this part of the Tuscan coast, and indeed, the fostering of local flora and fauna is a central aim of the estate, which includes fifteen hectares of organic orchards in addition to the vineyards. Cabernet Franc has found a home from home in the warm, sea-breeze-tempered climate, bringing wonderful aroma and freshness to the red wine. For the white, classic coastal variety, Vermentino is joined by Viognier and Ansonica (the same as Sicily’s Inzolia), which is making a serious name for itself in the Maremma. |
